Sažetak
The Plitvice Lakes where the first place in Europe to be included in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List as a phenomenon that is created primarily by water. The main phenomenon of the National Park is a series of barrage lakes created by the growth of tufa barriers on the old riverbed of the Korana River. In addition, the highest waterfall in Croatia, 78 m high Veliki slap Waterfall is one of the main attrac-tions. In this chapter, main hydrological, hydrogeological and hydromorphological characteristics of the Plitvice Lakes National Park are presented. Basic climatolog-ical components are analysed following data on groundwater storage and circulation. Final part of the chapter is dedicated to surface water, i.e. streams and lakes of the Plitvice Lakes area, their basic hydrological characteristics and hydromorphological status according to the Water Framework Directive.
